There ya go!

After a little delay (its called real life I guess...) here is squad #2 of my Rogue Trader Crimson Fists:


Squad #2, all metal from 1987

Sergeant's helmet in appropriate markings

Free hands for chapter badge and rank emblem

I just love that aiming squad leader figure!

..so here he is close up.

There were two more figures I finished at the same time. One is a lascannon that one day will be part of a support squad and the other miniature is going to be Veteran Sergeant Huron Grimm who is going to see action in the "Battle for Jadeberry Hill" scenario.


I wasn't sure about adding gems to a space marine but in the end I think it looks not too bad.


Power pack :-)


Veteran Sergeant Huron Grimm

One of the cool things about RT era miniatures is that their guns don't have that heroic scale. A bolt pistol actually is small like its supposed to be compared to the guy wielding it.


More to come guys. I promise!

@all: thank you, guys!

In a forum someone asked for a pic before the paint was applied. Here you go - the servitors are working hard and mindless to produce even more WH40k RT era Mk. VI power armour ;-)


I use "UHU patafix" strips (I think you guys in the English speaking countries know it as "blu tack") to attach my figures to that piece of wood - its an easy way to use spray primer on them because you can turn them without falling down and get the primer everywhere. The weapons have been temporarily pinned to old flight bases to handle them while painting.

These look stellar! My best friend had a Crimson Fist army. So I've seen a lot of that paint scheme, but I never saw it look so good.

After being away from the painting table for two weekends, I managed to finish the first few models of what's going to be two support squads for the Crimson Fists army.

A mix of Lascannons and Heavy Bolters - still missing are the Missile Launchers and the Sergeants.


Four Lascannons and two Heavy Bolters for starters

Lovely work on these :)

It is good to see the old miniatures painted in a 'toned down' fashion and still using the insignia of the day.

Keep up the good work :)

More amazing work. Though this is before my time, me being a young gun, I am a 40k fan and love to see this!

Top notch! :) I love Beakie Marines, and your hand-painted insignia and Crimson Fists color scheme do RT proud. :)

I really like the gems on the lascannon, I've always liked the idea of a Marine commemorating kills on his weapon. Perhaps he killed some Eldar vehicles?
